After reading fellow My It Things writer emjay’s article “Hi Fives: Weekly ‘It’ Blogs”, which features five of her favorite home and design blogs, I was immediately captivated by artist Niki Kelse.

She has a very free-flowing style that is punctuated with intense color and scenes. She describes her artwork on her blog: “My drawings begin with one layer, one color, one saturated ink line or blue. Watching layers grow, blocking out and rooting areas, seeing what comes out, how pieces fit together. Designing in marker and pencil form, a flat deep imaginary world. Images stem from the things that keep me alive. Things that I might be lacking in my life, I substitute on paper. Living in gardens, a telepathic world, the equality of all things, stability and magic.”

At her shop on Etsy you can find her beautiful drawings, and while they are a bit pricey (ranging from $250 - $400 each), they are beautiful and original. Soon to come – digital prints of her artwork, which will likely be priced lower but be just as beautiful.
